Fantastic experience: Dealt with a rotator cuff injury and had a great experience here. One-on-one care, knows his stuff, and got me feeling strong again.
Fantastic experience: I have known Thomas Scar for more than three years. I visited him for shoulder and neck pain. He is very smart and knowledgeable at his work. He also worked with my father and visited him at his place. He is very passionate while doing his job and helped my father start walking within a week. Since then, I have recommended him to all of my friends who need help. You will never forget his smile. 5 stars.
Fantastic experience: Tom has done plenty of PT work for me over the years while training together. His ability to lead you through strength training exercises, physiotherapy, and injury prevention lessons will have you feeling better and more prepared to take care of your body moving forward. Would highly recommend Momentum Rehab to anyone seeking to understand their health better and ensure a healthier future!

Fantastic experience: Thomas Scarr is a class act and is in it for the greater good of the world. I’ve been seeing him for a couple years for struggles with hockey-related shoulder instability. I don’t know where I’d be without him.
Fantastic experience: As somebody who enjoys playing sports, injuries come along with that. Thomas has helped me through quite a few over the years. His home visits are so convenient and he always make sure to leave you with rehab exercises and checks in on you during recovery. I highly recommend using Momentum Rehab and thank you Thomas for all your help and knowledge!
Fantastic experience: I have been working with Thomas for a number of years to rehab various injuries, the most significant of which was a long rehab from shoulder surgery last year. With Thomas' background in varsity athletics and strength training, he related strongly with my desire to get back onto the court and into the weight room. Highly recommend Thomas to you get back into game shape after injury, especially if you're an overhead athlete!
Fantastic experience: Thomas combines great knowledge of physiotherapy with a genuine curiosity and warmth that is hard to find in most practitioners. Importantly, Thomas takes time to know you and understand the root of what's going on. I've referred family members and athletes to Thomas, and all speak very highly of him and his work.
Fantastic experience: Thomas does unbelievable work! I’ve been getting work done with him for years and I have nothing but good things to say about his work. His attention to detail cannot be matched. He cares about his clients and wants the best for them as well!
Fantastic experience: Thomas does incredible work! I had a major neck kink last year and I couldn’t move my head at all without extreme pain. I thought I was going to miss at least a week of work. Thomas was able to get me in on short notice, and I was back at work that day. I couldn’t believe it!
Fantastic experience: In the past 4 years at SFU, working with Thomas Scarr has been instrumental for my injury prevention/rehab as a hockey player competing at the NCAA division 1 level. His passion, knowledge, and background in physiotherapy made every interaction insightful and enjoyable, giving me confidence that I was on the right track to consistently compete at high level. Thanks for everything Scarzy!
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Thomas for a shoulder injury and the experience has been excellent from start to finish. He's been great at tailoring the treatment to my exact sport specific injury. Would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with a sports injury or anything else.
Fantastic experience: Worked with Thomas Scarr for my nagging back and sciatic nerve pain. He was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable! He was able to minimize my pain when I went to the clinic and he gave me a detailed exercise program to rehab the injuring and then exercises to get back to my normal self in sports! Highly highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Thomas. He’s helped me with lower back pain and my dad with hip surgery recovery, and both experiences have been excellent. He’s thorough, explains things clearly without overcomplicating, and gives practical exercises that actually work. The fact he comes to you is a huge bonus too. Great physio and really easy to work with 👍
Positive experience: Thomas was very quick to respond. He made time for the in the next day or two for a zoom meeting. (all other physiotherapist had weeks long waiting list) He assessed my situation gave me some exercises to try. Which have been helping. I've very thankful for his quick response and would recommend him to others!
Fantastic experience: Thomas is an expert in his field! He is equally talented and educated in his work, and has a balanced approach to individualized treatments/recommendations. We are lucky to have someone so generous and trustworthy working in our community, couldn't recommend him enough!
Fantastic experience: Very helpful! Great communication and vert reliable. Would recommend to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Thomas was a fantastic resource for our family. We met with him virtually from the United States regarding our son's injury and his treatment so far in the states. He was quick to notice that something was more seriously wrong. He was able to find us a local resource and from that resource we had to schedule emergency surgery due to an injury that the previous physcial therapist completely missed. Without Thomas's knowledge, background, and connections, our son's injury would have continued to worsen and we would have a more serious operation and healing process. I highly recommend Thomas for your needs.
Fantastic experience: Thomas has been instrumental in my recovery from a sports injury. He created a steady & sound workout plan with several specialized exercises being gradually added to regain strength & mobility.

Fantastic experience: Thomas is an amazing human and an even better commish. He knows his stuff (I’d hope so he was in school for 8 years). Blown rotator cuff? He’s your guy!

Fantastic experience: I recently visited Thomas Scarr at Momentum Rehab for lower back and hip pain, and I am beyond impressed with the care I received! From the very beginning, Thomas asked all the right discovery questions to understand my condition thoroughly. His attention to detail and genuine concern for my well-being made me feel confident in his expertise. During our sessions, we did some table work that provided immediate relief, and he demonstrated various exercises to help strengthen my back and hips. One thing I loved was that he let me film him doing the exercises so I could remember them later. That was super helpful! Thanks to Thomas, my pain has already significantly decreased, and I feel much more equipped to manage it moving forward. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of physiotherapy. His professionalism, knowledge, and personalized approach truly set him apart.

No matter the circumstance, he brings his professionalism and outstanding knowledge to every session, and provides an actionable plan to bring me back to health. If you're looking for a high quality service, Thomas should be your go-to guy!
Fantastic experience: Great experience. Came in limping, left skipping. 10/10 would recommend
Fantastic experience: Thomas was my physio for the past 6 months. I came to him with a really niche issue (a tendon inflamed by something specific about a new pair of ski boots), and where others had failed to get me moving, he succeeded. His manner is easy-going but professional, so I always looked forward to our sessions and found his treatment effective. Thanks to Thomas, I was able to return to skiing pain-free this season and build back up my trail running ready for some summer goals. Thomas is an A+ physio and I would definitely recommend him to anyone else experiencing any issues requiring treatment. I am immensely grateful!
Fantastic experience: This was my first time going to a physiotherapist and my physio Thomas Scarr made it a great experience! He's very knowledgeable yet also very friendly and makes every appointment more enjoyable. I started going in for some mid back pain and just after a couple weeks of doing the exercises he suggested, the pain is practically gone!! I would 100% recommend him if you are looking for an amazing physio with genuine intentions of making you better!
Fantastic experience: I am immensely grateful for the exceptional care I received from Thomas Scarr during a challenging sciatica.

I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of compassionate and effective physiotherapy!

Fantastic experience: Had been experiencing low back pain for several years. Thomas was meticulous in developing my treatment program. Now, 2 months later, I’m pain free. Thank you Momentum Rehab.
Fantastic experience: Quickly understood my problems and pain points, applied pleasant but proper massage therapy and came up with great exercises on the fly and always followed up via email with more details for my training program so I wouldn't forget. Also applied some needle-based therapy on my back that really worked for me. In one word: Excellent!
Fantastic experience: Started seeing Thomas for rehab of a cycling-related knee injury in early 2023. He had a transition plan to get me back on my bike and strengthen all the muscles around the injury right away. Thomas' professionalism, care, and attentiveness to his patients is genuine -- he regularly reaches out to check on the status of my knee between follow up visits and always has suggestions if I'm experiencing challenges. Thanks to Thomas, I have biked over 8500km in 2023 -- it would not have been possible without him.
Fantastic experience: Thomas was my physio for the past year. His professionalism, positive attitude, and acute understanding of body was incredible. In crafting rehabilitation programs, Thomas would actively following up with me each week to mark progress, and provide modifications when necessary. What I appreciated most about Thomas was his attitude. Every day, he came in with a smile and encouraged me along my rehab journey. Without question, I would recommend Thomas to anyone looking for a sports physiotherapist. His acute understanding of how athletes move is second to none.
Fantastic experience: Thomas knows his stuff. Super personable guy who helped me return to throwing 90mph+ post elbow reconstruction
Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable and friendly. Thomas was a huge part of getting me back to playing baseball after surgery!
Fantastic experience: Took extensive rehab sessions with Thomas after shoulder surgery, been told by doctors that expected recovery motion range is about 85%, well, guess what? With the professional guidance and sessions with Thomas, got back around 95%. Surgery that I had was very intrusive, and we followed strict instructions from surgeons, took long time to recover, but each time I had physio session it was gradually better and less and less pain. Beside professional approach to rehab, Thomas has a great personality and it was a pleasure to work together. Would recommend 100% !!!
Fantastic experience: My mom has seen Thomas for her knee and she is incredibly happy of the outcome!
